from dining table to kids art/play table

we bought a dining table and chairs for $10, the people we bought our crate furniture from also had this and were begging us to take it (they had bought it from some people who were getting rid of their cabin but they didnt have room in their house for it).

it wasnt big enough for us to use as a dining table so i asked my husband if he could cut the pedestal and we would give it to the kids for an art table next step is to cut the chairs down. i will post pictures of those when we have cut them down. until then heres pictures of the table. the girls are thrilled to have their own table, so far they are using it to play dolls

The table looks great, but I too am going to comment on how much I just LOVE your chalkboard wall! I wish we had our own house and I would totally do something like that. Your children, and it sounds like you, must love it!
